People, get a grip. I know some of us are really cheesed off because we have put money in the game and hate that someone (who probably did not contribute anything) is ruining the fun for us. But, paying into this was our choice and we knew of the risks. I am sure that the developers are trying to work something out. It is useless to take the frustration out on people here in the forums - it just creates more useless friction.
Ah,my space hopper has arrived. I'm off to the dark side of the moon.

True, however Pix needs to make a stand. week long bans for detrimental effect to game play etc. Should cover tanking, idling, and the like. These 'players' would either play within the norm of the game or move on to ruin something else.

Isn't ethical tanking an oxymoron? It's like safe cigarettes lol But I did not inhale...

I posted b4 the locking. putting all things aside I think dredd is right. Repetitive circular arguments over and over. Wasn't even fun anymore nor was the content meaningful. People started singing their tune over and over.

I swear I remember reading your farewell note in the 'Sunsets an Happy Trails' section of off-topic, Firebeard. Could be wrong, though. You'd be correct. I was upset with Pixonic. The issue seems to have corrected itself. I don't harbour ill-will or hard feelings towards Pixonic nor do I hold a grudge. I even asked 'Dredd for help, to which he completely ignored me. I don't wish to hijack his Thread .. so, we'll leave it at that.

Do you honestly think you make sense right now? I was pointing out how you made a selective citation to prove the person wrong while the meaning stared at you in the face. The second meaning??? The one you are calling a "second meaning" is a noun. The person who typed it used it as an adjective to refer to the situation or Dredd. So, it doesn't count. He didn't want to mean the state of affairs was being described as hopeless, but that it was "totalitarian". I don't know why I'd make an SS of a noun form when it doesn't apply here. Also, as a tip, how about using real words and correct grammar? If nothing, it makes you look okay. Dystopian: a person who advocates or describes an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad.We agree that this is part of the definition of dystopian now... your catching on! Were making progress. You, like a monkey, can be trained with abuse and bananas. Your imagining things, the ?poo-poo? was getting old, and tired, hence the horse hint (beating a dead horse). See this is the part where I imply that the word he chose, the one who's second definition I have highlighted is actually what HE is doing. I know this might not be easy for you to grasp but the use of the word imagined should have been a clue, or the proximity of the two sentences one after the other. You failed English Class, didn't you? ..

I just shuttered two threads worth a total of 14 pages of posts on the exact same topic. ANd you could summarize all fourteen pages in probably two sentences. Short ones. So for the rest of May, any thread whose topic is the ethics of tanking is going to get locked. Let's take a break, eh? Find a new horse to beat. Would a pony be OK... Horses are kind of big, and a pony seems easier. Hey now let's not go there...

These ethical debates get real old I agree! Is it ethical to not like being ethical? Of course that's ethics. Ethics are not by definition right or wrong, ethics are your moral principles that govern your behaviour or your conduct in an activity. But judgment on ethics is subject and heavily biased. Most people don't even know why the have views on topics, but they know that they definitely have views. People's ethics are more commonly shaped by external elements that people were not aware of. But intrinsically most people share a common set of basic ethics regardless of culture/religion. We have evolved to be a communal species. There's always outliers for sure. Plus 95% of the population think that they are the 5% that are different...
